FC Barcelona emphatically silenced any doubts in Europe over whether they had truly moved on from their humbling against Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, as they dismantled an unbeaten Aston Villa side in the Spotify Camp Nou on Tuesday.
Despite facing a side lying second in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Hansi Flick’s side weathered a tough first half to dominate the English visitors and win 3-0.
They punished an ineffective Unai Emery’s side with captain Raphinha grabbing a brace in the second half, while Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the seventh minute.
